Confused on rights

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING … Get a lawyer before you agree to anything. The two years might be a good deal or it might not. That depends on how much you could get in CS per month for the next 8 years vs what it costs to run the house for the next 2 years. Use the CS calculator to get a rough estimate of what he should be paying.

Also do not get stuck (mentally) on having to stay in the house be willing to move out of it if you need to.

Also realize that no matter what happens your life is going to change.
be sure to file for ED and Alimony (if he makes more then you)

Again DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING!!! He can not force you out of the house at this time and he will not allow his credit to be ruined by defaulting on the mortgage.

Dear donna:

Greetings. Did you already sign the agreement? It appears as if you have and if so, you may have already lost the house. I hope not!

MY HUSBAND OF 24 YEARS DECIDES HE WANTS A DIVORCE. I HAVE NOT COMMITTED ADULTERY AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEITHER HAS HE. WE OWN A HOUSE WITH A 1ST MORTGAGE OF 100,000. AN EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT OF 49,000 , OF WHICH 12,000 IS MINE AND THE REMAINING 37,000 IS HIS. THE HOUSE IS TAX VALUED AT 195,000. HE HAS AGREED IN SEPARATION PAPERS HE HAD DRAWN UP BY HIS ATTORNEY TO "ALLOWING ME AND OUR MINOR CHILD TO LIVE IN RESIDENCE FOR TWO YEARS OF WHICH HE WILL PAY PAYMENTS ON MORTGAGE AND RELATED ULTILITIES IN LIEU OF CHILD SUPPORT. THE MINOR CHILD IS ONLY 12. MY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS CONCERNING SOLE OWNERSHIP OF THE RESIDENCE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HE INTENDS TO TAKE SOLE OWNERSHIP IN TWO YEARS WITH NO MONETARY CONSIDERATION TO ME.
